Figure skaters Davis and Smolkin consider competing for Israel
MOSCOW, January 16 – RIA Novosti, Vlad Zhukov. A source close to the situation told RIA Novosti that Russian dance duo of figure skaters Diana Davis / Gleb Smolkin is considering changing her sporting citizenship to Israeli.
No specific agreement has yet been reached. It was noted that the final decision will be made according to the political situation in the world. If the Russian team is accepted to international competitions in the near future, the duo may abandon their plans to change their sports citizenship.
This season, Davis and Smolkin have missed all local tournaments due to problems with their partners’ documents. In the summer, American blogger Dave Leese reported that the duet plans to move to the US national team, but the skaters themselves denied this information.
